The Ugly Duckling's Journey

Once upon a time, in a sunny pond, lived a little duckling. This duckling was not like the others. His feathers were gray, and he looked strange, making him feel sad and alone.

The other ducklings swam around him, quacking and splashing. They laughed at his looks. The little duckling sighed and wished he could be like them. He decided to leave the pond to find a place where he belonged.
